Foundation work is underway for the first phase of the El Cerrito Plaza BART Station transit-oriented development in El Cerrito, Contra Costa County. Crews are currently working on the six-story affordable housing complex at 515 Richmond Street, designed by PYATOK. The master plan is a joint venture with Holliday Development, Related California, and Satellite Affordable Housing Associates.
Construction has begun on an affordable housing community at Cypress Point Street in Moss Beach, San Mateo County. The development is looking to replace a former military training ground with 71 homes and an amenity center across 17 buildings. MidPen Housing is the project developer.
Concrete is nearly topping out for the affordable senior housing project rising over the Lake Merritt BART Station in Downtown Oakland, Alameda County. Once complete, the eight-story apartment complex is expected to add 97 units above the transit hub and across from the Laney College campus. East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation is responsible for the development.
Last week, ground broke at the El Cerrito BART Station, beginning the first phase of construction for a sweeping 743-unit development to occupy the existing surface parking lot. Initial concepts for the project were reported on by SF YIMBY in 2020, with final approvals by the El Cerrito City Council coming through in May 2025. In that time, Holliday Development, Satellite Affordable Housing Associates, and Related California have emerged as project developers, sponsoring a combination of affordable and market-rate units on the site.
Permits have been filed for the construction of new housing located at 1700 Sacramento Street in Berkeley. The site is currently part of the North Berkeley BART station parking, at the north-east corner. If the project successfully moves forward, it will mark the first construction phase for the North Berkeley BART redevelopment plan.
